I have reported this to GS HQ and the spam was deleted.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Several GS employees read posts on the forum, some of them also answer them sometimes, but I am the one who reads every single post and reports matters of interest to them.

The problem is they just keep coming.
I think that is what Ling was talking about in another post - about having admin authorise the first post made.

The GDL Center is just getting bombarded at the moment.

I have read at least twice this many posts just to get rid or the 'New' tag.
Unfortunately we don't have the ability to 'mark as read' any or all of the posts.

They don't seem too worried about it.
This is since my last post 5 days ago.
I have also sent off a couple of e-mails but have heard nothing back.

Wow, that is quite something... I do not get the point of the duplicated "new" icon, more so since there is not option to "mark as read". But that is a separate thing...

They are working on it.
Apparently, that forum runs on a forum engine different from that of AC-Talk.
So it takes more time to deal with it and prevent further spamming as well.

My 2 cents. There is an internet legend about how Japanese deal with Chinese con-artist, it's available in twitter.

They are constantly monitoring the site so if any new spam appears, they will handle it (during Hungarian business hours). At this moment the forum is clean again.
